Shopping at Bastille market, this time without the rain. Picked up rotisserie chicken & potatoes for dinner, melon, peaches, baguette & flowers and took them back to the apartment before setting out for Montmartre and lunch at Le Moulin de la Galette. Made the mistake of getting off the Metro at Abesses, the deepest station in the city. Wall murals are nice along the way but the climb hardly lets you enjoy them. Lunch was very good - pretty restaurant (restaurant in colors seem to be black, white and/or grey) - and the food was very good. We weren't very hungry so I had the gazpacho of green zebra tomatoes with smoked ricotta which was delicious and beautiful. I'd be happy with it for lunch often as the taste 100% fresh tomatoes. Leas had crab tartare with mayo between slices of cucumber- also very fresh & delicious. I opted for the meringue with strawberries which consisted of creme fraiche, strawberry sorbet, fresh strawberries & meringue slivers - very light and fresh tasting. The Montmartre museum is small but very nice and has some terrific views. Walked over to battle the crowds at Sacre Coeur and it wasn't too bad. Takes time to get into the bigger churches as they do a bag check now. We were about to leave when Vespers started so we stayed for a while to listen to the singing. Walked through Place de Tertre (packed), rue Lepic and then to the cemetary after stopping for a cafe creme for fortification. Big cemetary but nothing like Pere Lachese, and we wandered through - lots of people with watering cans tending to family graves. Back to the apartment for our dinner which was delicious and a perfect way to end the day.
Still working on pics but blogger wont let me access them.
